  1. Dribble the ball within a confined space in your living room.
  2. Incorporate quick turns using both feet to create shooting opportunities.
  3. Visualize receiving a pass and turning to face the goal before taking a shot.

Wall Rebounds (4 minutes):

  1. Stand facing a wall with the ball at your feet.

  3. Vary the distance from the wall to simulate different shooting scenarios.

Finishing Drills (4 minutes):

  1. Set up cones or markers to create a shooting lane.
  2. Dribble through the lane and finish with a shot on goal.

Power Strikes (3 minutes):

  1. Visualize a powerful shot on goal.
